Should I meditate in silence or with peaceful music?

Why don’t try both and see what you prefer? Or perhaps choose depending on how you’re feeling that day? I like to use music sometimes and use it as an anchor, so every time i get distracted I use it to bring me back to the present moment. Hope this helps!! Love & Light

Both. Sometimes peaceful music can really get you in the mood and provide a nice environment for your meditation. Other times silence is what you need. You will know when you need silence

I think it should be what works for you. I prefer silence, which is never really silent. As I meditate I take in the sounds rain on the roof outside, or wind, or even the clink of my baseboard heaters, and it forms a kind of natural music that I find very comforting. As I meditate I find I am in a place apart from my surroundings yet still connected to the world.
